History

History education at The Orchard Centre is designed to help students gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world. The subject should inspire students’ curiosity to know more about the past and teaching should equip them to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement.

History helps students to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversities of societies and relationships between different groups, as well as their own identity.
